“I am about to finish work on the screenplay of the biopic, and I am now looking for a co-writer to help me write the film. Mahesh Bhatt will be supervising all creative aspects of the film,” she says.

The filmmaker adds that finding a co-writer is not something is worried about. “I can manage that. But once it is taken care of, I will be approaching people for funds and only then will I decide on the cast,” says Lajmi, who is also working on a feature film with Vinta Nanda.

Interestingly, the biopic — that chronicles the life of the legendary musician Bhupen Hazarika — is being produced by Pooja Bhatt, and it may also see the actress-filmmaker essay the role of Lajmi.
